TREAT YOUR NEW HOME BUYERS RIGHT.  KEEP THEM UPDATED AND "IN THE LOOP".

I love new homes.  I love to sell new homes.  There's something mysterious about taking some lumber, some nails, some concrete, some windows and a bit of construction know-how and the end result is a home. 

I love folks who build things.  The creative process of the floor plan looks simple, but it isn't.  Everything has to work together to creat a workable home with a functional floor plan, a kitchen plan that is convenient for the cook, a bathroom with as much space as will fit, an exterior that is beautiful and wears well.  The engineering for everything from the grading plan to the final touches on the wall paint is designed and planned to go together to provide a home for the owner with efficiency, within the code and, finally, a home that someone will buy. 

Agents who accompany a new home buyer to the builder, register the buyer and then show up to collect their commission check are missing a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the home building process.  We learn a little bit on each home and our buyers know that we are there if they need us.  We don't build the homes, but we can be a vital link between the buyer and the builder. 

One of the new home contracts under construction is in a lovely community of new homes in Purcellville, Virginia.  A beautiful home for a relocating home buyers from England and his family.  The photos below are from a photo file I keep for all of my new home buyer which, at settlement I present bound for a permanent record of the construction process.

GRADING THE LOT

Grading the lot.  Very important and if not done right, nothing else will work.  Grading plans are approved and permitted by the county and follow a strict code to reduce run-off and environmental damage.

Permits for this home in Purcellville in Loudoun County, Virginia took about 3 months. 

Next, foundation frames are installed and waiting for the concrete company to pour.  Once the concrete has "cured" the framing will begin and things will start to take shape.  This process consumes a few weeks and this is about the time when the buyers are wondering "What's taking so long?"  I relate the story of the builder who "backfilled" too quickly and the concrete wall buckled.  At that point, buyers become very patient.

AT LAST ! !   IT'S GOING TO BE A HOME.

Once the foundation is cured, the framing goes very quickly.  These beautiful homes don't build themselves. The are constructed by skilled craftmen who follow the engineering plans for every inch of what will be a beautiful home. 

This home will finish out at about 3,800 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, a finished basement, 3 car side load garage and beautiful finishings.

FINAL PRICE:  $715,000.  Then the builder lowered the price to $699,000 after a general price reduction. 

THIS IS THE DESIGN FOR THE HOME UNDER CONSTRUCTION.  The difference will be a brick front.  First floor master bedroom on the left and 3 car side load garage on the right.  Space for everyone
